After Minnesota traded away Stefon Diggs to the Bills this offseason, the Vikings were left with a big hole at the wide receiver position.
With the 22nd overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft, the Vikings looked to fill that hole by drafting LSU wide receiver Justin Jefferson.
Jefferson is coming off a season where he won a National Championship. He helped the No. 1 overall pick, Joe Burrow, find success with the Tigers. The Vikings took a great route runner with stellar hands, who should help replace a lot of the production Diggs left behind.
Both current and former Vikings players took to Twitter, addressing the addition of Jefferson and it seems as if they like the pick.
Former wide receiver Chris Carter and current wideout Adam Thielen both seem to have similar opinions with what the Vikings did with their 22nd pick. The pick fills a huge need for the Vikings and gives Kirk Cousins another option in the passing game. Former Vikings quarterback Tommy Kramer also liked the choice of Jefferson.
